16th August 2015 - Bad Hair Day

I noticed this blackbird the other day and thought he had a really long beak. Now I have got a shot of him I see he is very tatty - either a young bird getting his adult feathers or an adult who is moulting. Does his beak look long to you?

Haha -- funny title -- and he looks a bit concerned about something.

[Milanie]

He does seem to have an attitude!

Maybe the beak looks long because they grow into it? Haha, just a guess. Nice shot Pam.
